Jose Mourinho is one of the most charismatic coaches of this Century. The Portuguese, thanks to his successes, has earned a lot of money with juicy contracts, but he has also made a fortune with his failures and consequent sackings.

Now he is the Tottenham Hotspur manager, Jose Mourinho can once again enjoy football from the bench of the Premier League, a competition that the Portuguese has managed in the most throughout his career.

Spurs are the latest to try out the coach, who has had a very successful career, which has also reaped a lot of economic benefits.

Despite this, Mourinho has not only earned money from his triumphs, but he has also made a fortune from his failures.

As 'Mundo Deportivo' shows, the former Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United coach has earned a fortune just on pay-outs.

For example, in 2007, Mourinho left Chelsea, who had to pay almost 26 million euros to pay him out of his contract.

More recently, in 2015, Chelsea paid the coach 11.5 million to put an end to his second stage at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United have also contributed to the Portuguese's fortunes, because they paid him 19 million when he decided to leave in 2018. 

In total, from three sackings, Mourinho has earned almost 50 million euros. A shocking amount. This is one reason why he is 'The Special One'.
